a lot about info to collect you might have been today as a to members of the sausage moments we have gone through and think about the serious challenges that face our home country and the huge expectations and the hopes we have for our homeland i find myself standing confused before my national conscious as i speak to you with the honesty and transparency we have been used to in our dialogue and hope that you will accept me for the presidency of the republic analysts are hardly surprised by his staying in power to swear that way i think of the elections as one source of it is just a missile or a facade of this committee that would say that he won the elections fed and square and he has significant popular support. c.c. who swept to power in two thousand and thirteen after a military coup against former president mohammed morsi obtained ninety seven percent of the vote in the two thousand and fourteen election international

observers question the credibility of the results saying the election fell short of international standards. campaign promises included rebuilding egypt reviving the country's economy and raising living conditions. but almost four years into his presidency many egyptians are disillusioned with his rule concern has grown that it has brought with it a return to the authoritarian security state that prevailed under former president hosni mubarak rendering the tahir square revolution only a brief experiment in democracy. real opposition to sisi in the march election is likely to be thin on the ground potential candidates have either already withdrawn or seen their candidacy blocked some have blamed an atmosphere of fear observers say cc's tactic is a recognizable one in the region of the mubarak and his message and saddam's of the agent has used it to before they would tell the international indonesian community

hawker reports. a planned trip to florida to mark donald trump's first anniversary in office has been canceled at least for now instead america's republican president is reaching out to his democratic rival in this summit meeting with an invitation to the white house to try and avert a government shutdown we made some progress but we still have a good number of disappointing discussions will continue republicans control congress but it's a crisis the white house blames on democrats it appears unfortunately that senate democrats are entrenched in forcing a shutdown unlike five years ago when the government shut down for sixteen days this time all u.s. national parks and post offices will remain open loys will not get paid and just like five years ago the military border patrol and federal firefighters among others will remain on the job but they'll also not be paid right away yesterday

thirty nine thousand one hundred seven the most is going on thursday lawmakers in the u.s. house of representatives passed a short term funding bill to keep the government open but it must also pass in the senate and democratic senators are refusing to approve any funding legislation without protections from deportation for thousands of illegal immigrants brought to the united states as children with the president come up here democrats believe they have few options given trump announced obama era protections for the illegal immigrants known as dr recipients runs out in march based on what we have seen in terms of how the republicans have responded in the past i believe democrats simply do not trust that the republicans will actually move to address the issue. despite claims to the contrary given twenty eighteen is a congressional election year it appears trump sees political advantage in

a government shutdown if the public places blame on democrats. on friday morning he tweeted shutdown coming we need more republican victories in twenty eight teams as donald trump prepares to mark his first year in office unless a deal is reached the anniversary of trump's inauguration is set to be celebrated much like the year started amid controversy kimberly hellcat al-jazeera washington well political hands joining us now from washington d.c. if i understand it correctly patty there has been some movement in terms of debate and a vote that's going to be happening soon i think well we're told that the u.s. senate is going to take up the bill that passed the house i want to get too much into the weeds here but basically it would just extend the government funding for about four weeks and it would also give democrats something that they have desperately been calling for for four months which is to fund a health insurance program that helps inch give health care to low income children

and this is millions of children that have been basically put in limbo so republicans thought well we'll put that in the bill no democrats will have to go for all democrats and said no not so fast we want to see protections for the eight hundred thousand illegal immigrants who were brought to this country as children republicans have said that's not going to happen it doesn't need to happen so now republicans are going to put a vote they're going to vote on the house bill they're going to do that at ten o'clock local time so just about three hours from now and see if they have the votes doesn't mean they have the votes it just means that they're going to try for this bill and see if they can peel off enough democrats they really need at least nine of them to basically go against their party. so now what we're seeing is it does look like if this doesn't pass the minute it's going to quickly approach and then you're going to see a partial government shutdown which means a lot of employees that work for the federal government won't be able to go to work if it so happy monday so now we see the white house trying to different tact mick

mulvaney the budget director saying well the deadline is not really at midnight let's listen. i don't think you'll be taking care of the money i actually that's why i just said i think i actually think there's a little we did. that for the work you offered or if you should work on i think for me quite a bit more tomorrow. no i don't think it is a very clear doctrine not leaving until the end of your buddy we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this isn't just a procedural thing that's going on with the government people are going to be if there is a shutdown not able to go to work as you say and that means they don't get paid and that will cost the country even more money. well if it's a short shot if it's a short showed a shutdown studies have shown in the past that the economy is not impacted all that much usually the government goes back and says even the workers who didn't come in you still get paid so the economy can probably was standing couple of days the

bigger question is the politics of this so let's keep in mind this is a crisis the president trying created all on his own the dreamer's program for those children who were brought here illegally that was in place they were protected he's the one who said no getting rid of it congress figure it out so that is put this in congress's lap it also goes to show the bigger political point is let's think about this voters put president trump in the white house they put republicans his own party in charge of the house and the senate they sent the message that government is broken or so and they'll tell you they're sick of this they can't even pass a budget that's like when you say you have one job for congress you really have one job and it's to pass a budget and this continues to happen so there are some pretty high political stakes here and that to the least for president donald trump let's think about just how this is going to look if the government shuts down partially at twelve o one that will happen to land on the exact year anniversary of his inauguration where he came to office and said he can fix things he's

a deal maker and if you can't make this deal well that's going to call into question his biggest selling point to his core voters it also is going to coincide with another women's march to protest against donald trump so though of one more thing to protest against and it's going to cost the republican party he was planning and he should have been in florida right now and it is a private club he was going to have a fundraiser get this if you pay one hundred thousand dollars as a couple you can have dinner mar a lago or if you pay to fifty you can participate in a roundtable discussion with the president the united states he wanted to go to his resort he wanted to golf he wanted to celebrate his a year in office and if he did if this doesn't happen well that's not going to happen paddy for now thank you very much indeed. still ahead on al-jazeera turkey escalates tension along the border with syria after days of threats of action against kurdish fighters. and as donald trump's first anniversary in the oval office nears we take a look at his record on climate change. through

a area of the environment that he said large interests want to lay their hands on and gas on petroleum is for gold and he said he urged these communities to protect the environment and he also condemned it that is illegal gold mining is contributing to the human trafficking in the in that area is there are thousands of girls that are being forced into prostitution there's a slave labor also there so the the pope urged the native communities to defend the their culture which in the end means they will be protecting their land they will be protecting. the environment that the pope will be in until sunday here in beirut and he will be holding mass in a religious celebration in the northern city of tokyo but on sunday before he holds

a massive religious celebration where a million and a half people are expected to attend there will be a protest of critics of the pope who say that's the pope and the vatican are not doing enough especially the pope not doing enough to stop the sex abuse says so and we among thirty man in the church in his first year in power president donald trump has stripped away many obama era environmental. policies as in unspent last june that the us would pull out of the potus agreement in twenty twenty minutes with world wide disapproval and left the us isolated and as nick clock reports from paris it was followed by a series of climate for late to disasters in the united states from devastating how to to wildfires.

december two thousand and fifty the paris agreement is forged a historic moment twenty years in the making. that final accord agreed here in paris was a momentous achievement and a unanimous play with a hold of the a bombing is then things changed the united states will cease all implementation of the non-binding paris accord we don't all trumps efforts to strip away the environmental policies that was created as a did not end that he's pushed to bring back mining jobs with as he put it beautiful clean coal he's opened the way for offshore oil exploration and his means to dismantle the u.s. . but then climate disasters have careered across the united states residents of california where rico and texas will need a reminder that two thousand and seventeen was unusually cruel property and

livelihoods destroyed on a massive scale. from harkens to wildfires the u.s. was struck by sixteen climate and weather disasters in one year with losses according to one report exceeding three hundred six billion dollars we need to be careful not to attribute any one of these events to climate change per se it's pretty clear that climate change is increasing the odds of extreme weather and events like those we've seen recently hurricanes wildfires etc i've not seen any real indication that the president is necessarily cognizant of that as cities and states have stepped into the federal void in the us to say we're still in the paris agreement we're here where we're not going away on the international stage and president macro affronts make planet great again. just this week macro a ceded to the demands of a long standing environmental protest and abandon plans for
